1. Connecting the video recorder
Important for the United Kingdom
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 10 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows: 1. Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A,ASTA or BSI approved type. 3. Refit the fuse cover. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 3A. The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard, or should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N') BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L') 4. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK. 5. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED. 6. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead-not simply over the two wires.

Preparing the remote control for operation
The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original video recorder packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use.
1. Take the remote control and the enclosed

batteries (2 batteries).

2. Open the remote controls battery compartment and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture and close the battery compartment. The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 7 metres.
Connecting your video recorder to the TV
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programmes using your video recorder. We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV and video recorder. What is a scart cable? The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer. You can have the Hi-Fi sound on the TV only with a scart cable.

4. Playback

Playing back cassettes
You can operate the video recorder using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the video recorder. If you press PLAY B-K , STOP C-L , FWD 1- B or REW0- s while the set is in Stand-by, the power will be automatically turned on. Additionally, if a cassette was already inserted, the corresponding operation will be performed. Your video recorder can only record and play back standard VHS cassettes. 1. Put a cassette into the cassette slot. The cassette is inserted automatically. ' ' will appear on the display. 2. Press PLAY B-K to view the tape. 'PLAY' will appear on the display. DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible playback quality. For old and often-used video cassettes, this system reduces interference. For new or high quality cassettes, it emphasises the details. Picture/ sound quality is poor When playing back rental videos or older, poorer quality cassettes, it may not be possible to completely filter out picture and sound interference. This is not a fault in your machine. Read the section 'Manual tracking'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes
This video recorder can also play back cassettes that have been recorded in SP [Standard Play] or SLP [Super Long Play] mode in the NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes). However, this only works on PAL-television sets that are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.
Displaying current tape position
The following information is displayed on the screen: e.g.: 0:02:45 shows the counter in hours, minutes and seconds. SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your cassette 'REM 0:06': will show the remaining time left on the tape in hours and minutes. When you play back an NTSC cassette, the video recorder will show 'REM -:--'. How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'? You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with CLEAR. When you put a cassette in the video recorder, the counter will automatically reset to '0:00:00'. The counter does not move This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape. This is not a fault in your video recorder. The screen shows '-0:01:20' If you rewind a cassette from the tape position '0:00:00', the counter will show for instance, '-0:01:20' (the cassette was rewound to 1 minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00'). '-:--' is displayed in the 'REM' counter This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In addition, when you put in a cassette, the video recorder will first calculate the time played back. Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after the tape has been running for a few seconds, the correct remaining time will be shown.
3. To stop the playback, press

STOP/EJECT

STOP C-L or on the video recorder. 4. To eject the cassette, press STOP/EJECT when the video recorder stops the playback.
Automatic switch-off of special functions Many functions (e.g. pause, still picture) switch themselves off automatically after a short time in order to protect the cassette and to save energy. Do I need to change the playback speed when playing back LP recordings? During playback, the correct speed will automatically be selected. For more information, please read the section 'Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual recording'.

6. Programming a recording (TIMER)
Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date. The video recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this video recorder, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year. To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs to know: * the date you want to make the recording * the programme number of the TV channel * the start and stop time of the recording * PDC on or off This information is saved in a 'TIMER' block. What is 'PDC'? 'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than scheduled, the video recorder will turn on and off at the correct time. What do I need to know about 'PDC'? Usually the PDC time is the same as the start time. But if your TV guide shows a PDC time which is different from the programmes scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10 (PDC 20.14), you must enter the PDC time exactly to the minute. If you want a start time different from the PDC time, you must switch PDC off. Error message: 'FULL' If this error message appears after pressing SV/V+ , then all TIMER blocks are already programmed.
